My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged!
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 340.6 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high?
I read that there is possibly glucose in my fat cells that may be released as I lose weight, but I don't know how accurate this is. I feel okay for the most part. I get a bit woozy when I stand up too quickly, and sometimes my shoulders and arms feel really fatigued after doing some work -- like preparing and cooking food, for example.
I wish there was a doctor I could consult about this, but doctors are not knowledgeable in general with these concerns that occur with keto and fasting. There is only one doctor that I know of that I would trust to answer this question and not recommend that I use insulin, metformin, or add carbs to my diet. That's Dr. Jason Fung. I can't afford to see him, and I can't physically go see him, so I'm on my own.
I need to locate a good doctor I can afford in my area who knows how to support keto and fasting graph:
